Ticks!

Here I sit
Beneath this tree
What do you think
Soon drops on me?

A tick!
A tick!
They’re everywhere!

Little things
Like pencil dots
They go wherever
They should not

Ticks!
Oh ticks!
I hate them all!

Ticks!
Dratted ticks!
Wish they’d die when they fall!

About Jayne d'Arcy

I am now, as of 2010, 48 years old. I do a bit of digital artwork, and photography. I also write Harry Potter fan fiction that is Severus Snape-centric. No slash. On this blog I have a library of my own original work, which I hope you'll be inclined to visit and comment on.
